"As one would reasonably expect, this is notably more elegant with its pure and discreetly stony nose of extract of red berries and plum. There is an excellent sense of energy to the beautifully well-delineated medium-bodied flavors that exude plenty of dry extract that does a good job of buffering the moderately firm tannins on the balanced and lingering finish. This is really quite pretty and should reward 5 to 8 years of cellar time."
